[quote="LeKiwi"]Inventor - brilliant post! So good to see someone pointing these things out, I feel I'm banging my head against a brick wall half my life trying to explain these things. Sigh. And Zendell, equally good point. A dentist friend's daughter suffers the effects of mercury poisoning, due to prolonged exposure while her mother was pregnant, and in the first two years of her life, thanks to the mercury amalgams her mother used so often every day. The first list sums up her condition brilliantly: neurological problems developmental delay speech delay language problems short-term memory problems concentration problems And she also suffers coordination problems, chemical sensitivities, mild seizures, and various allergies alongside. She's 23 years old and won't ever be able to live independently.[/quote]

Scientific papers are peer-reviewed by the scientific community and published in referred journals and conferences. <br /> <br />The article cited is a newsletter article from an anti-vaccine nonprofit organization's newsletter that was written by a chemical engineer. The article references an array of papers some of which are peer-reviewed (and most of which are not). The sources do not reflect current understanding (all references are older than 2000), and the article seems to do most of its "analysis" by cherrypicking from other articles. Anti-vaccine websites and newsletters are not generally considered trustworthy and credible sources since they have a specific agenda of showing that vaccines are harmful. <br /> <br />Additionally, there is a long distance between a hypothesized link or association (anyone can hypothesize an association about anything) and true meaningful correlation and causation. Since the 1800s, the number of pirates on the open seas has sharply decreased at the same time that the average temperature worldwide has increased. It would silly to purport that the decrease in the number of pirates is responsible for the temperature increase, yet that is exactly what vaccine causation believers do when they suggest that vaccines are responsible for a host of problems without backing their assertion up with credible evidence to support direct causation. <br /> <br />It seems that lay hypotheses has become almost a niche industry. There is a journal called Medical Hypotheses that is wholly dedicated to hypotheses about medicine-related phenomenon. Rarely do the hypotheses described in that journal have any meaningful evidence backing them.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>LeKiwi</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://wrongplanet.cachefly.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu Apr 17, 2008 2:22 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Ok, if that's true then that's a good start, but regardless of that there are still others that are manufactured with thimerosal and contain thimerosal, and thus mercury too.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>beau99</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://wrongplanet.cachefly.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2008 7:44 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>LeKiwi wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">Also, on the UK vaccines thing, the flu vaccine still has mercury, as does the DTaP one as far as I know, and a few others.

Such posts are unwelcome, confuse the issue, and do nothing to rule out mercury as a factor in chronic conditions such as autism. <br /> <br />Research has only recently begun into the effects of chronic exposure to low levels of mercury. Emerging evidence suggest mercury (primarily from dental amalgam fillings) may play a role in Alzheimer's disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diseases, and unexplained neurological symptoms. <br /> <br />From what I've read, this type of mercury exposure is associated with: <br /> <br />neurological problems <br />developmental delay <br />speech delay <br />language problems <br />short-term memory problems <br />concentration problems <br /> <br />Many of the above symptoms are known and were reported to the FDA as symptoms of dental amalgam (mercury) exposure.

If it was two years later preschool/Kindergarten would be claimed as the cause. <br /> <br />I have also heard that the whole link was from lawyers who wanted to be paid to shut up. <br /> <br />Exposure is not the problem with mercury, that takes a lot, and usually over a long time. Most things can live with it, but it accumlates up the life chain. such as in fish, huge amounts of mercury were released by paper companies, and fish that eat fish, birds that eat fish, and people who eat fish do get a toxic dose. <br /> <br />A second opinion is paper company lawyers explaining it away as as being so safe and natural it is even used in childhood vaccines. Humans are dumb, and sit on juries. <br /> <br />There is a swamp on the Louisiana Texas border where it is not safe to eat anything, as unlike other places that dumped in rivers, they dumped in a contained swamp, and it will be there forever. <br /> <br />When children were found to have very high levels of lead, lawyers accused them of eating paint chips. <br />It had nothing to do with emissions from local industry. <br /> <br />In a very uncharistic action, they did something, the EPA was formed, 1972, and all lead was tken from gas, paint, and no mention was made of why. Some millions of tons of Tetra Ethel Lead was used in anti knock compounds and came out the exhaust. Children born from 1955 to 1975 in dense settlement, cities, suburbs, had mental retardation, IQ's 10 to 20% lower than predicted by their parents IQ. <br /> <br />The only treatment was dumbing down the schools.

They also were the most religious group ever in America, forming the Christian Right. <br /> <br />They are the pawns of the same oil companies that poisoned them. <br /> <br />Autism is a developmental delay, we do get there, and often farther. Lead caused mental retardation does not improve with age, the ability to think does not improve, but the choices become more important. <br /> <br />All of the things that define human culture, Art, History, Wisdom, are lacking in this generation that follows TV preachers, joins mega churches, water slides for Jesus, and voted for the guy who has said God more than all other Presidents combined. <br /> <br />Only the oil companies understand them, bought Bush, lead the fight to smite Babylon, tore up The Constitution, replaced it with a Faith Based Homeland Security, and are moving for a Theocracy, because minority White Christians should rule for God, for only they and the oil companies know God's Plan. <br /> <br />We do have heavy metal problems, but they are not from mercury in vaccines.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>velodog</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://wrongplanet.cachefly.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 5:36 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Excellent post MissPickwickian, the information about the Minimata disaster is too well documented for me to ignore.
